About this listen

A spellbinding story of truce and trickery from the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Paper Magician series.

Enna knows to fear the mystings that roam the wildwood near her home. When one tries to kill her to obtain an enchanted stone, Enna takes a huge risk: fighting back with a mysting of her own.

Maekallus’s help isn’t free. His price? A kiss. One with the power to steal her soul. But their deal leaves Maekallus bound to the mortal realm, which begins eating him alive. Only Enna’s kiss, given willingly, can save him from immediate destruction. It’s a temporary salvation for Maekallus and a lingering doom for Enna. Part of her soul now burns bright inside Maekallus, making him feel for the first time.

Enna shares Maekallus’s suffering, but her small sacrifice won’t last long. If she and Maekallus can’t break the spell binding him to the mortal realm, Maekallus will be consumed completely - and Enna’s soul with him.

Critic reviews

An Amazon Best Book of the Month: Science Fiction & Fantasy

“...an immersive, dangerous fantasy world. Holmberg draws readers in with a fast-moving plot, rich details, and a surprisingly sweet human-monster romance. This is a lovely, memorable fairy tale.” --Publishers Weekly

“Holmberg ably builds her latest fantasy world, and her brisk narrative and the romance at its heart will please fans of her previous magical tales.” --Booklist

I've already read this story, but it was great listening to it on audible, the narrator told the story brilliantly, Enna and Maekallus are good characters and I love their story.

As per a previous review I was a little dubious, but I am glad I didn’t heed the review! It was very much not boring, it was instead very clever, often funny and always touching. Exactly as I have come to expect from a Charlie N. Holmberg!! The narration was excellent too!! Thank you again Ms Holmberg 😀

Definitely NOT Boring!

The story is boring. The narrator did her best but I still struggled to push through.

Should not judge the book by its cover
